dodge filled weekend

Post by evilram »

I was up in the mountains of Colorado this weekend doing some volunteer work at this old church I grew up near. Got talking to this old cat (in his 90's) about my 27 Dodge Brothers sedan. He mentions that he has a 1923 DB that he drove in the 20's. Still sitting on his families homestead at about 9000ft, sitting in the same spot since it retired from School Bus service in the mid 30s. No frickin joke, it was cool seeing this thing and knowing that its been with the same owner since it was new. I forgot to take pictures of the two functional 1940's Dodge firetrucks he had in the barn

Not that that wasn't truly awesome, I had a few chances to play with my new truck, and check out his other 1920's ish tractors and farm implements.

....and then head about 650 miles to pick up this little gem.

a successful, and somewhat pricey weekend, but 100% worth it

yes, almost zero rust. The doors and cowl are just about perfect. Even the floor is clean.

Te crewcab came from Las Vegas - New Mexico I think.
WE all drooled over it when we saw it on CL. Glad it went to a good home.

My brother is Jimmy and he wanted me to go get it for him a few weeks ago because it looked so rust free. Nice find
